Abstract

As part of our program to discover new bioactive agents from endophytic fungi, three new indole alkaloids (1–2, 4) along with twelve known compounds were isolated from an inset derived endophytic strain Aspergillus lentulus. Their structures were determined by comprehensive spectroscopic analyses of 1D/2D NMR and HR-ESI-MS data. The absolute configurations were confirmed by ECD calculation using Time-dependent Density functional theory (TD-DFT) at the B3LYP/6–31 + g (d, p) level and Rh2(OCOCF3)4-induced ECD experiments. Compounds 2, 4, 5, 13 and 15 exhibited moderate cytotoxic effects on A549 cell line with IC50 in the range of 17.92–48.29 μM. Compounds 1, 2 and 13–15 displayed the anti-bacterial activity against Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae and Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzicola with MIC values ranging from 25 to 100 μg/mL. © 2021 Elsevier B.V.
